Savory Beef Gravy

Ingredients

Beef drippings

1/4 cup

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Beef broth

2 cups

Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the beef drippings over medium heat until they are hot and shimmering, releasing their rich aroma.
2. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the drippings while whisking constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture takes on a light brown color. This is your roux, and it will add depth to the gravy.
3. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
4. Once combined, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired thickness.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as needed to enhance the flavor.
7. Serve hot over your favorite dishes, such as roast beef, mashed potatoes, or even a savory meatloaf for an extra flavor boost.
